 Three ladies from Arkansas, uninvited hillbillies actually,  believing they were performing an intervention,  when already warned:

"No, no, no! That's not how it works!  It was ... ME ... who told them first I had a drug addiction!  You can't perform an intervention on top of an intervention! It just doesn't work that way!"

 Now what do I do with them while they are here?  Why was it me who had to find them a motel to stay New Years Eve weekend?  Why was it me who had to take them out to eat while they were here?  To a show at Tara Theater Cinema?  Shopping? Etc., etc., etc..  The whole time recoiling from them like Count Dracula would have, having been evicted from his castle broad daylight but worse:  Wasn't evicted but having to deal with them freaking out over the sight of me doing meth just to be sociable while they were here.
  Jesus Fucking Christ hanging around around such three lovely ladies neck; high, high, high,  high on nothing more than a dope on a rope.

An expensive meth addiction made worse dealing with cheap hillbilly's placebo addictions.

Ex-senator reverses opposition to gays in military - Yahoo! News: "While most troops signaled they didn't care if gays served openly, nearly 60 percent of the Marine Corps and Army soldiers in combat arms units predicted problems would arise.
'My suspicions are that the law will be repealed' eventually, Marine Corps Commandant James Amos told a Senate panel. 'All I'm asking is the opportunity to do that at a time and choosing when my Marines are not singularly tightly focused on what they're doing in a very deadly environment.'
Nunn said in the interview that he was swayed by the chiefs' testimony that repeal could be done as long as the Pentagon had enough time to prepare.
'That's a huge change' since 1993, he said. 'I think that makes a big difference in perceptions of fairness and legitimacy in the law.'"

Warren Buffett's Anti-Nuclear-Weapons Plan: Will It Work? - Yahoo! News: "The U.S. and its allies, as well as many Arab nations, don't believe this claim; a broad consensus exists that Iran is determined to achieve at least the capability to develop nuclear weapons. The Obama White House sees an international fuel bank as a way to call Tehran's bluff. In speeches outlining his nonproliferation agenda, Obama has argued for supporting nuclear programs in countries that forswear bombmaking and domestic enrichment. 'That must be the right of every nation that renounces nuclear weapons, especially developing countries embarking on peaceful programs,' Obama said in an April 2009 speech in Prague. In an address in Cairo two months later, Obama specifically cited Tehran: 'Any nation - including Iran - should have the right to access peaceful nuclear power,' he said"

Report: Virus, fungus new suspects in bee disease - Yahoo! News: "Robert Cramer, a pathologist at Montana State University in Bozeman said, 'There seems to be a correlation between the presence of these two pathogens together. We envision the bee gets an infection from one or the other, and this causes the bees to become stressed, which then allows the second infection to come in and more effectively cause disease.'"

Search for clues is on after birds fall from sky in Arkansas - CSMonitor.com

"In the middle of the New Year revelry, as many as 3,000 red-winged blackbirds, common grackles, and European starlings – which often flock together in winter – rained out of the skies, a seemingly Hitchcock-esque phenomenon that scared local residents and prompted concerns about a possible toxic event.

'This was very traumatic for a lot of people. It was very scary,' says Arkansas state ornithologist Karen Rowe, talking via cellphone while on her way to ship the birds' bodies to an ornithology lab at the University of Wisconson-Madison. 'There were a lot of people who ... witnessed the birds falling from the sky, and since it was New Year's Eve night, it lent some questions to whether there was foul play.'"

The Arkansas bird mystery seemed especially freaky because it happened all at once and on a night when large numbers of people were outside watching fireworks or traveling home from New Year's Eve parties. Dead birds littered roads, front yards, and rooftops.

Adding to the mystery is an apparent fish kill 125 miles away in the same state. A day before the bird die-off, a tugboat operator near Ozark, Ark., spotted thousands of dead drum fish floating in the Arkansas River. Biologists say the two events are probably not related and suggest that the fish kill – a much more common event than a bird rain – is likely linked to a disease that affected only one species.

"If there's any real hope of the mystery being solved, it's contained within the bodies of the birds," says Rowe. "There is a potential that [labs] might not find what happened, which is a reminder that mother nature has a way of letting us know who's in charge, by giving us these little mysteries."

Positive results will not happen before next election even if feasibly possible by raising taxes just on the wealthy or eliminating loopholes for the wealthy.  Even believed they can be blamed for failure as the Democrats weren't helpful although too fractured to be the "party of no!"

Republican Party or anyone having unashamedly voted Republican, the party of hysteria over anything even remotely considered evidence (even if only their opinion) as justification for their actions. 

The diagnosis of drunkenn, Jane Grey Swisshelm | Dictionary.com

"The diagnosis of drunkenness was that it was a disease for which the patient was in no way responsible, that it was created by existing saloons, and non-existing bright hearths, smiling wives, pretty caps and aprons. The cure was the patent nostrum of pledge-signing, a lying-made-easy invention, which like calomel, seldom had any permanent effect on the disease for which it was given, and never failed to produce another and a worse. Here the care created an epidemic of forgery, falsehood and perjury. "

Even better,  back up you comment with your full name.  Adds a backbone, don't you think?   Personally,  do believe I know the answer this question, but have not verified with an expert.  Want to hear your opinion first, not just from those who disagree anonymously after having posted mine.  If family and friends have been reading my blog as I'm being told;  over time, only fair to  believe you lied.  Will not hold it against anyone not commenting on a blog entry or even reading it altogether;  just liars wanting cake and eating it too.

****

Couldn't help but be amused by this comment on several fronts.

• The not so "real" American name. (important when you consider people voted on the winner.)
•  
• Considering how offended our "proud and full of patriotism"  Americans get when hearing language other than English spoken on the legal side of our border with Mexico.  (curious!  anyone ever heard of an illegal Mexican immigrants being deported because they thought Canada would be a fun place vacation  that year?  just curious.  maybe one day will "GOOGLE" it.)
•  
• Being a phenomena that can have tremendous influence on the directions/outcome of civil debates and even peoples lives. (not all are cute, funny, harmless!  Needed a term in order to be discussed and dealt with appropriately.) 
•  
• The meaning of the word is never questioned or causing needless confusion!
•  
• No one harmed or offended by the term. (e.g. "That's so GAY.)  
•  

*****

 In the context of language used,  appropriateness, solving any problems of the world........

this years winner was just an exercise in "too much time on their hands." 

The behavior, psychology behind what does or does not  go "VIRAL"  is important!  Being sick of hearing something going viral is no reason to ban the word itself.     

Does no more good than voting ABORTION a crime.

If  Allah, as well as those who voted his nomination the winner, wants a  word  more acceptable to them as a substitute for this phenomena;

 good luck!

It's going to have to go VIRAL first!

"For example, one patient of mine who had been deafened by scarlet fever at the age of 9, was so adept at lip-reading that it was easy to forget she was deaf. Once, without thinking, I turned away from her as I was speaking. “I can no longer hear you,” she said sharply.




“You mean you can no longer see me,” I said.



“You may call it seeing,” she answered, “but I experience it as hearing.”



Lip-reading, seeing mouth movements, was immediately transformed for this patient into “hearing” the sounds of speech in her mind. Her brain was converting one mode of sensation into another.

GUERRILLA WARFARE

Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare and refers to conflicts in which a small group of combatants including, but not limited to, armed civilians (or "irregulars") use military tactics, such as ambushes, sabotage, raids, the element of surprise, and extraordinary mobility to harass a larger and less-mobile traditional army, or strike a vulnerable target, and withdraw almost immediately.

PAPER, SCISSOR, ROCK!

I have a habit of collecting pictures from the web and using some as desktop wallpaper on home computer.  The pic above always being the one brought out of retirement. 

So why do I like this one so much.  To be honest with you,  although a veterinarian, not 100% certain the one exposed is male. I am pretty sure I'm 100% gay.  About to turn 49 in two weeks, having lived an extremely promiscuous lifestyle without having had or even a  desire to have sex with women;  feel it justifiable to get extremely angry with anyone agreeable with the idea of my lifestyle  an issue of moral by popular vote

Fifth Position?

Getting in, thought I had done something right; rewarded for my effort. But it was my first try. Really didn't know who are how many I was competing with or anyone who failed to gain admission. Not until the first day of veterinary school did I learn there was no one I knew from University of Arkansas. Nor was I expecting to see a familiar face. Just took the classes I was suppose to take and did the best I could.

Looking back years later, and I mean really taking a hard, cold honest look at the facts; the math didn't add up right. There were many people I've meet over the years, people who have tried year after year, far more deserving of admission to veterinary school, who should have had my seat in that LSU-SVM Class of 1987 instead. You entered as a class and you graduated as a class; minus those who made less than a C grade any class. Just took one "D" or "F".

The saying went: "C = DVM!"

There were some exceptions made; but those were the rules. Assume threat of lawsuits where the exceptions. Whatever, the bottom line always has something to do with money, even if disguised with words like "quotas', ethnic diversity, of two black girls in my class, pretty obvious from the very start.....one didn't deserve to be there).
